if she wants to go home, her heart and mind is already set.
My Indon maid wishes to go on home leave when her 2 year permit expires.
That means that I have to go to the embassy with her to do the documents , which also means that I would have to sign the $6K security bond with the Indonesian embassy.
Is there anyway to avoid this?
My maid has been with me for 10 years and I don't want to give her up for another!
it's very tough to train a new one, but insisting on her staying is definitely no way. honestly, you are very lucky to have enjoyed 10 YEARS with this helper. -
@janet88
Thanks for ur reply but my helper does not want to go home for good.
She wants to go on home leave.
That’s why I am asking if there is the security bond by the Indonesian embassy whereby employers have to commit an in- principle sum of $6k to the Indonesian embassy?
Apparently it has been scrapped.
I called 2 maid agencies today.
I am surprised why MOM website still state that it is still present. -
Parents beware of hiring this particular Myanmar maid, Nyein Nyein Ei
I previously had a maid and lie to us that her mum is sick and wants to go back.
We have a maid who help us to take care of our baby girl 8 months old. She is lazy and always sleep in the afternoon and use facebook . But we give in to her as long as she take good care of our baby girl.
After 1 month, she wanted to go back saying she she do not want to work anymore in SG. She talk to agency and get a replacement. However, she regretted and cried saying she cannot bare to leave our daughter as she likes her. My wife believed in her and keep her instead.
3 months later, she told us that her mum is sick and need to go back.We trusted her and arranging for a replacement maid so that we can send her back. We told her we need some time to get the maid and she was impatience. She start to break my things purposely and make my daughter fall so that we can send her back immediately.
We have no choice but to send her back immediately while finding another maid. My Myanmar friend helped me to checked on her facebook and found out that she lied.
To all parents and family in Singapore, beware about this maid and don't bother to hire her as she will give you problem in your house than to help you. She is planning to come back again. Beware!!!
Her picture is attached. and also agency that advertise her now.

hi mkan,
your sharing is very helpful for those who plan to employ a helper. -

Thank you for letting others know about your this horrible person. I have sign off Myanmar helpers all together. Just cancelled my Burmese helper WP last week too. The last Myanmar helper I had I treated her so well. Send her home for extra holiday when we went for our 2 weeks holiday. In the end she didn't come home. Found out that she went to work for someone else 1 1/2 months later. However she lasted only 8 months with new employer. … Then the next Myanmar helper came and claim to be a nanny while in Myanmar. Goodness, she has no patience whatsoever with my kids. My aunt actually saw her raise her hand like she want to slap my kids but she stopped when she realised she wasn't alone. Very dirty and lazy as well.... sigh....hopefully my next helper (Cambodian) will be better...

my mum’s new Myanmar helper learns fast (too fast. of course it’s good and bad). work wise, she is not bad and has initiative but she is still young and naive.
she is temporarily at my place while parents are away on holiday. she helps me with my chores but I don’t leave all the work to her as I do not want to get spoilt not doing anything. I know my kids are not comfortable having her around. we have not had a domestic helper for the past 10 years, so it does take some adjustment for 10 days.
I close 1 eye and 2 ears unless she goes overboard. at parents’ place, she is not allowed to have the mobile phone during the day. but at my place here, she is holding on to the mobile phone most of the time yakking and blasting the music. my son is amazed I’m so tolerant…I just want mum to enjoy her holiday and not hear any complaints. honestly, I’m pretty amazed I can be so bochap because it’s just not me. -
mum's domestic helper is staying at my place while parents are out of town.
she is sleeping in daughter's room and helping herself to the creams, perfume and stuff on the table.
before she came, we did a video chat with her. she is from Myanmar.
she agreed not have a mobile phone but came with one anyway :roll:
the agreement at parents' place is no mobile phone during the day but 2 hours every night.
she brought the mobile phone to my place and I gave her access to wi fi for usage at night. guess what, she started blasting her myanmar songs and talked all day. I told her she is talking too loud. then she went into the room to yak.
on National Day, hubby brought kids out to watch fireworks. I stayed at home. she yakked all day. at 630pm, I called her out of the room to ask if she wanted noodles. I called 4x and when she finally came out, she told me she was very sleepy :mad: by the way, she has only worked for 1 month 1 week.
she has salary and mum gave her additional $50. last sat, we went out for dinner and daughter requested for a slice of cake from chateraise. I bought her a slice. as we were going home, this helper was glaring at me. daughter then told me she had been glaring since we were at chateraise because she was expecting me to buy her a slice as well :slapshead:
my tolerance level has increased since the arrival of my kids. the last time I had a helper was 10 years ago.
I pretended not to know she was unhappy. I've reached the limit of my tolerance threshold.
although she does do what I tell her to, her attitude is so unacceptable.
daughter had tuition yesterday. after the helper was done with her bath, she walked into daughter's room (where tuition was going on) and applied moisturiser :faint: I was appalled but still kept my cool and told her to leave the room. as it is, she has already 'taken ownership' as though the room is hers...locking the door all the time and not waking up to let my girl take her uniform to get ready for school. -
Anyway, very soon you won’t see her anymore lah (after returning her to your mum’s pl).
From what I read in your first post, the maid seems ok, work wise not bad, learns fast and has initiative, just that she is young and naive.
You mention at your mum’s place, she’s not constantly on her phone. Probably your mum has instructed her no phone during “working hours”. Over at your place, it seems like you treat her more like a guest rather than a maid. Maybe you should be UPFRONT with her, no touching of your (and your kids’) stuff without your permission and strictly no HP.
As these helpers come from much poorer countries, they may salivate at Chateraise cakes and pastries. But it is up to you whether you want to buy her a slice or not. -

I admit I had been soft. Even hubby said the same. But the rationale is she is not my helper, so I am nice to her. Mum gave her additional $50 to buy what she wants, on top of her $80 salary (July) since she knows I will likely bring her out. So she does have the means to buy herself anything she wants. Anyway, very soon you won’t see her anymore lah (after returning her to your mum’s pl).

janet88,
Rmbr u’re supervising yr mum’s maid on her behalf. Don’t hv to be extra nice.
If yr family goes for dinner & she’s invited, she shld be thankful. She wants Chasteraise, use her pocket money to buy herself. I don’t bring mine out except for the occasional PH & her b’day. She don’t hv to pay for her meals but if it’s her b’day we buy her a b’day cake. She gets a special fondant cake i personally bake to bring to church to share with her frds. When my family gets some ABC b’fast or Chasteraise, we do not get an extra piece for her. On some afternoons, when I do groceries with her, i might just get her a cuppa & share bread @ Yakun. Once i start, i feel obligated to keep that as a practice. I’m always concern abt setting precedents. A habit leftover fr my days in practicing HR. Precedents always a taboo in our line of work coz staff will always expect company will benefit them again & it shld become an entitlement.
Be cordial & tell her u hv yr houserules, and reinforce hp usage only after her work are all done after dinner.
Be firm that u expect her to be considerate whether she is a guest or a helper - considerate to yr daughter’s space and use of her room when she is doing hmwk, tuition. She is to use the room only for sleeping. If she need to use her hp use it in the living room or kitchen area whichever u set for her. Like lee_yl indicate she’ll be back to yr mum soon.
